The Jazz fans in the stands are extremely nervous. They currently have one thought in their minds: "We won't lose to the Kings, a bad team, right?"

But the reality is that they are indeed very likely to lose to this bad team that currently has the worst record in the league.

When the timeout time is up, the game continues.

The Jazz served from the frontcourt, and the Kings defended the ball very tightly.

The Jazz team has rich experience and the ball was successfully served.

The ball is in Deron's hands. At critical moments in the game, the ball is usually in his hands.

Deron faced Tyreke Evans and worked with Boozer in a pick-and-roll.

The Kings chose to flank the ball holder. Obviously, they would rather give Boozer an opportunity to be open than give Deron a chance to lead with a 3-point lead!

"Sacramento is planning to defend 3 points and allow 2 points!" Kevin Harlan said.

Reggie Miller said: "Their strategy seems a little conservative, but in this way, in theory, even if they are scored by the opponent by 2 points, they still have enough time to organize a decisive attack in regular time!"

Deron passed the ball to Boozer, who turned around and cut the ball away!

But the ball went to Ronnie Brewer, who was open on the left side of the free throw line!

Brewer didn't feel good in this game. He hesitated, held the ball and rushed inside!

Brewer forced a layup, he passed Hawes, but was pushed away by Xie's nail board!

"Kane's big pot!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed!

Hawes got the ball under the basket, and the Jazz players rushed towards him quickly. He cleverly swung the ball to Xie Kai next to him.

The Jazz adopted foul tactics and sent Xie Kai to the free throw line. At this time, there were only 16.2 seconds left before the end of the game, and the home team was still 2 points behind.

"Kane's defense in this round was really outstanding!" Kevin Harlan sighed.

"Indeed, the rotation was very good this time. I almost completed a steal and even blocked Ronnie's layup! From single defense to assist defense, my awareness and defensive sense are very good!" Reggie Miller is also the same.

Praise.

"Now Utah can only count on Kane missing two free throws or making one of two free throws. If they make both free throws, it will be too difficult for them to bring the game back!" Kevin Harlan said.

Xie Kai stood on the free throw line amidst the interference of the fans at the scene. He took a long breath and made a steady free throw!

There was a hint of despair in the eyes of the Jazz fans at the scene and the Jazz players on the bench.

Xie Kai made two free throws! The Jazz used their last timeout of the game.

"Being behind by 4 points and there is no timeout, if Utah wants to win or tie the score, it must bet on 3 points!" Reggie Miller said.

"It's all-or-nothing!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

Almost all the Jazz fans at the scene stood up, they were expecting a miracle to happen!

The game continues!

The Kings defense serves the ball from the edge!

The ball was finally served, although it was almost a 5-second violation!

Deron caught the ball, and the one guarding him became Xie Kai!

Deron sprinted with the ball, reached near the 3-point line, and made a direct pull-up - the 3-pointer hit the neck of the basket and got stuck...

It was such a dramatic scene, which made everyone at the scene somewhat unexpected.

"What...what's going on?" Kevin Harlan looked at Reggie Miller suspiciously.

Reggie Miller tilted his head and shrugged, saying that he could not guess that this was the case.

According to regulations, this ball must be a jump ball!

For the Kings, this result is completely acceptable!

The result of the jump ball is that the Kings have the ball!

The Jazz fouled again, and the game was basically settled...

"The game is basically sealed!" Kevin Harlan said.

Reggie Miller nodded and said: "It's basically a matter of missing a 3-pointer. Utah has no timeouts and the game time is not enough!"

In the end, the Jazz still failed to create a miracle and lost to the Kings at home, ushering in a two-game losing streak.

Xie Kai played a career-high 37 minutes in the NBA regular season in this game (the previous high was 36 minutes). He made 12 of 20 shots, including 3 of 6 3-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 rebounds.

Assisted, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and only made 1 turnover. His performance was very good.

Tyreke Evans also performed very well in this game, scoring 25 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal. He made 12 of 14 shots from the free throw line.

"Reggie, the performance of the two young men in the backcourt of Sacramento today was 58 points, 13 rebounds and 18 assists! It's terrible!" Kevin Harlan said.

"I didn't expect these two young people to perform like this in the absence of Kevin Martin. It is indeed rare." Reggie Miller nodded and said.

After the game, Xie Kai, coach Paul Westphal and teammate Tyreke Evans attended the press conference.

During the press conference, a reporter asked Xie Kai: "Kane, may I ask Kevin about this game? Martin's inability to play due to injury was the reason for your outburst?"

"Yes, I have to admit that Kevin's unfortunate injury gave me more opportunities. But maybe you don't know the inside story. My performance in the first quarter was very poor. At that time, the person who encouraged me and gave me ideas was exactly the same.

It’s Kevin. Without Kevin’s guidance from the sidelines, there would be no explosion behind me!” Xie Kai said truthfully.

Xie Kai's emotionally intelligent and down-to-earth answers received a round of applause from the audience.

After the game, news about Xie Kai and the Kings took up a lot of space on the NBA pages of major sports media. Many people were discussing whether Xie Kai could replace Kevin Martin and become the team's "answer" at the No. 2 position.

There are still many people discussing that the combination of Xie Kai + Evans will become a new powerful "double backcourt" in the league.

Xie Kai's answer at the press conference made many people who criticized him find no reason to criticize him. It is obvious that he is a hard-working and humble young man. He is proactive on the court and has the courage to take responsibility.

It is difficult to find a reason to criticize a player like him who is greedy for shots and takes the lead on the defensive end.

The Kings' record improved to 2 wins and 4 losses, and they finally got rid of the second-to-last position in the league. Although without any lineup changes, their strength can only be improved through internal digging, but this team

It still gives people hope, especially the backcourt duo of Xie Kai and Evans.

The Kings defeated the Jazz on the road, and their next opponent is back-to-back home games against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors currently have 1 win and 3 losses, ranking last in the Western Conference and one of the worst.
